Fig. 5 is an enlarged perspective detail of the bracket base. i

Fig. 6 is an enlarged sectional perspective detail of the end portion ofa side bar.

Like numerals of reference indicate cor responding parts in each figure.

Referring to the drawings, the frame is made up of the head frame 1, thefoot frame 2 and the angle side bars 3, the latter terminating each endin the attached fastening` member formed of the offset plate l, theOifset 5 being riveted to the downwardly extending section of the sidebar 3 on the inner face, while the fastening portion 6 of the plate isdistanced from the bar by the rivet pin 7 and is notched at 8 in thelower edge to it over a corresponding pin as more particularly explainedhereinafter.

Both the head framel and the foot frame 2 are formed with the posts 9the rails 10 and the permanent angle cross bars 11.

The bracket bases 12 are each formed with the inset faces 13 and 141 andthe vertical grooved back 15.

The bracket bases 12 are iirmly secured to the post 9 by the cap screwsor bolts 16. which also extend through the cross bars 11 and one leaf ofeach bracket 17.

The brackets 17 are formed of the projecting leaf 18 having the notch 19in the upper edges, corresponding to and receiving the riveted pins 7,and the inwardly projecting pins 2O toward the lower ends correspondingto and entering the notches 8.

This completes this simple fastening and in assembling the parts of theframe the side bars 3 are brought into engagement with the brackets 17,the plate 6 being inserted between the leaf 18 of'a bracket and the endof a cross bar to bring the .pins 7 over the notches 19 and the notches8 over the pins 20, so that the fastening may be done in a moment.

The ends of the side bars rest on the cross bars of the head and footframes and the pins in the notches lirmly fasten the parts together.

The bolts 16 in fastening the parts together screw into the tappedplates 21, which are shaped on one side to correspond with the shape ofthe posts whatever that may be, thus securely locking said bolts in Y afoot frame having posts, rails, and an angular cross bar, bracket baseshaving inset faces and verticall5T grooved backs fitting said posts,angle brackets vertically set on' said inset faces and having notchesand pins in the projecting leaves, screws securing saidV brackets,bracket bases, cross bars and posts together, side bars of angular'formation having one section fitting between the ends of said cross barsand the projecting leaves of said brackets, and plates having offsetssecured to said side bars and distanced therefrom to form recesses forsaid projecting leaves and having notches and pins for fasteningpurposes.
